The Promise (Fiction 101 Series)
Aaron blew out all one-hundred candles. The assisted
living nurse cut his cake. He always liked his birthday. And this was the day
he needed to fulfill a promise. The morning after his fiftieth birthday, his
mom had called him and said, “Welcome to the second half of your life.” And
that’s when he made the promise. Aaron had been an avid cyclist most of his
life. His plan, ride his age every birthday. So, after his morning birthday
party he snuck out of the facility and prepared his bicycle. Ten long hours
later he finished. The next day, he died smiling.
